FROM THE ROTUNDAS.
Numerous Bits of Intelligence
Gathered in the Hobbies.

Bishop Whipple. accompanied by his
wife, was in the city yesterday making
arrangements for trip to the South
and East, where it is proposed to spend
the winter. Despite the fact that he
has almost reached the allotted three
score and ten years. the bishop is still
vigorous and active, the latter being at
tested by the agility with which he
mounted the stairway of the Merchants
two steps at time. During his absence
the duties of the diocese will be attended
to by the assistant bishop. I'VE have
not made any plans as yet" said the
bishop, ''but will travel from place to
place as our tastes or fancleS may die
tate. but recreation will be the primary
object of the trip. | have invitations
enough to cover several years, If all
were accepted. but Boston. New York,
Philadelphia and Washington Will not
be overlooked"
''This muddle at the penitentiary will
not help the G.. 0. p" said George +.
Sabin, of Saltwater, a cousin of the
senator, ''fOr while no one believes that
eX-Warden Reed or his successor have
been guilty of the offenSeS charged
against them, yet stigma has been cast
upon the present administration of af-
fairs that it will be hard to get rid of.
As for the criminal prosecution that has
been instituted against Warden StOr-
dock, no one believes that he will be
convicted, as the report of the inveSti-
gazing committee has cut like two
edged sword and eXOnerated both men.
But the mistake was made by StOrdOck
in the first instance, when he stirred up
hi ,a4f hoA Inn iaf
testimony to rely upon to Substantiate
his statements. 1t would be utterly i'm
possible to make people at Saltwater
credit, let alone believe. anything that
might be said against Capt. Reed, and at
the most the only thing brought out by
the recent investigation was the fact
that he had been little careless in con-
Quoting the business of the peniten-
tiary."
Among the visitors to the exhibit of
fur animals and game birds in the Ryan
rOtunda was Mrs. Senator Sabin, who
after carefully inspecting the many ar
ticleS displayed, made selection of a
handsomely mounted pelican. which
she sent to Mrs. Cleveland for Christ
mas present. Few who have seen this
ungainly fisherman in his element
would imagine that he could be made so
attractive, but the large wing and tail
feathers taStefully arranged form per-
feet screen. and it is doubtful whether
the private apartments of the White
house will bear more attractive Orna-
ment than Mrs. Sabin's present.

sit is very desirable" said Secretary
Mum, of the Carnival association, THAT
there should be large turnout tonight
at the Ryan of the commanders of the
various carnival clubs. A consultation
with them is imperative, because their
suggestions will be of great benefit i'll
making out our programme for the Win
ter festival. The meeting will be called
to order at s O'Clock, and every club
that intends to participate in making
the carnival success, should be repre-
scented tonight"
Hon. Ignatius DOnnelly, the sage of
Nininger, was conspicuous in the lobby
of the Merchants for while yesterday
afternoon, but taboOed politics in his
conversation. The agitation of his
cipher does not appear to annoy him i'll
the slightest, for when one of the group
of interested listeners touched Oh the
subject sly twinkle of the celebrated
authors eye was the only sign of reeOg-
milton. Business affairs engrOsSed the
attention of Mr.. Donnelly as soon as he
could escape from his numerous admir-
ers, and he explored ST. Paul pretty thor
Oughly before he left i'll the evening for
his county seat.
